Hugs Of Perfection-Narry

Hard to love

As soon as the car pulled into the driveway Liam looked over at Harry.

He had his eyes closed and breathed a little unevenly. Harry fell asleep on the way and probably had a nightmare.

Liam softly shook his shoulder to wake him up.

Harry stirred a little but didn't open his eyes.

"Hazza we are here. Come on. You can sleep once we're inside"

Harry's eyes fluttered open and a  look of panic made its way onto his face.

"Where are we?!" He said with a bit of panic in his voice.

"It's all good Harry. We are home. The boys are here. You know, Niall, Louis and Zayn. They have everything prepared. We just have to get those glass splinters out of your fingers and cool that bruise on your cheek a little. You can go to bed then. Ok?" Liam calmed Harry down while unbuckling his seatbelt.

Harry nodded quietly and unbuckled his own seatbelt.

Before he could open the car door, Liam had ran around the car to do it for him.

"Come on Hazza" Liam offered Harry his hand.

"Thanks, Li" Harry mumbled while getting out of the car, feeling the little shards of glass sting.

Softly laying his arm around his best friend's shoulders, Liam walked them to the door and knocked.

Not three seconds after the knock Liam was engulfed in a hug by Zayn and Harry felt Niall's arms wrapping around him. He wanted to flinch back, and get out of the grip but the Irish lad was too excited and if Harry was honest, it was kinda nice to have someone happy to see him.

"Come in guys, we have everything prepared, well first take off your coats and shoes. Then you can have some tea, crackers and Niall even brought a stu-" Louis began to ramble at the sight of the boys.

"Let them in first, alright?" Niall interrupted him while he let go of Harry.

As soon as Niall got a full view of Harry, he noticed a big bruise on his left cheek.

"Do you need something to cool that and prevent swelling?" he asked pointing to it and after a small nod from Liam he led them to the living room area. He purposely sat Harry in the cosy corner with the pillows and blankets.

Handing him a bag of peas wrapped in a black cloth he sat down on Harry's left side while Liam took Harry's right side. Next to Liam was Zayn and Louis was far right.

"So what happened?  We were worried here, you took like 40 minutes to get here. We thought something happened, like a car accident or kidnapping or something" Zayn asked looking at both, Harry and Liam.

"Well something did happen, do you want to tell Harry?" Liam looked at Harry who pressed the black cloths on his face.

"No"

"Okay, do you want me to tell them?" Liam tried again, hoping to get more than a "no" out of the boy.

No, Harry did not want them to know, he didn't want to talk about it. But these boys were his bandmates, his friends, his family.

He felt the looks on him, the boys were waiting for him to say something. Probably crossing fingers for a yes. He really didn't want to talk about it. It was all still there like fresh cuts.

Unconsciously he started fiddling with his fingers which caused the others the notice the glass.

"Geez, what happened with your fingers, Harry?" Louis was the first to question.
